Table Spread) – Chapter – 5)–Stage

Verses
–112 & 113 of 120, Section – 15 of 16 (Part - 7)

BisMIllaahir-Rahmaanir-Rahiim

In the name of Allaah,
the Beneficent, the Merciful

112.
When the disciples said: O Jesus, son of Mary! Is Thy Lord Able to
send down for us a TABLE SPREAD WITH FOOD from heaven? He said: Fear Allaah,
if ye are true Believers.

113.
They said: We wish to eat thereof, that our hearts may become
satisfied and that we may know that Thou hast spoken truth to us, and that
thereof we may be witnesses.

When the companions (Hawaa-riy-yuun) of Christ (peace be upon Him) observed that Jesus (peace be upon Him) heals
him who was born blind and the leper, raises the dead person and even that tells
the people their secrets, they asked a question from Christ (peace be upon Him).
They said, “O Jesus, son of Mary (peace be upon Them)! Can Allaah Almighty do as that He send down for us a TABLE SPREAD WITH
FOOD from heaven? The Messenger Jesus (peace be upon Him) said: Fear Allaah Almighty and obey His commands,
if you are true Believers. They said: Certainly we are Believers. We are not
going to test Allaah Almighty. But we
wish to increase the satisfaction of our hearts with the Blessing bestowed by Allaah Almighty, we may worship Him as
much as we can, thereof we may be witnesses upon His Favors and we may not have
any doubt in it that the Path upon which You guided us, is straight and You (peace
be upon Him) are quite true.

This guidance is hidden in the answer of Jesus
(peace be upon Him) that, human being should arrange the provisions by the method
(of providing the necessities of human life), which Allaah Almighty has established for the mankind. It is compulsory
to bear the fear of Allaah Almighty
only in mind. It means that nobody should cross the bounds prescribed by Allaah Almighty and have fear of His
wrath every time. It is the common rule for the human being.

Many misconceptions have been
imagined by the people about the Messenger Jesus (peace be upon Him), but all
those misunderstandings can be dispelled, if this section of Holy Qur’aan is considered thoughtfully. At first,
He (peace be upon Him) was born contrary to the fashion and the people do not
understand it that any person can be created even without father. The Jews
calumniated Mary (May God forbid), Mother of Jesus (peace be upon Them). Some people
tried to prove Her marriage. Likewise, different people have different opinions
regarding Jesus (peace be upon Him), even that some of them are ready to prove
His (peace be upon Him) grave also.

Some people hesitate to have
belief in His (peace be upon Him) miracles. They are unable to understand that
how a mankind can heal incurable diseases as clear-sighted to the blind born,
healthy to the leper etc.? His (peace be upon Him) all virtues have been
explained very clearly in this section. Everyone will understand certainly on
the Day of Resurrection, but entire false thoughts can be corrected even here
if anyone meditates in it deeply.

All doubts regarding Jesus Christ (peace
be upon Him) have been cleared in only one sentence i.e. ‘Ay-yattuka bi-Ruuhil-Qudus(I strengthened Thee with the Holy
Spirit). The root of His all specialties comes out from this sentence. It is important to understand properly at first that the
mankind is a collection of two separate elements. One is body and the other is
soul. The body is a machine. The machine is made by putting different parts in
order. When it is ready for functioning, it cannot work, until the steam (power)
does not inter in to it. Just like this, there is a power to operate the
machine of human body. As we cannot operate the self-made machines without
electricity, steam or any other power, in the same manner, the machine of human
body is useless without its power i.e. soul. That power has a magazine like the
electricity or the steam has magazine.

The name of soul’s magazine is Ruuhul Qudus (the Holy Spirit). There is
a Descent of the same soul, Who brings the power of the Holy Spirit to the body.
He has been named as Gabriel, and the conveying the soul is called puffing of
the soul. As per common rule, the material of the machine of human body is
obtained by the intercourse of father and mother, and is prepared in the womb
of mother. But this rule was broken twice. Once at that time when Allaah Almighty created Adam (peace be
upon Him), the father of entire humankind, and secondly, at the time of Jesus’s
birth (peace be upon Him).

Adam (peace be upon Him) had neither
father, nor mother. At the second time, during Jesus (peace be upon Him), the
material of father’s part was taken from the Divine Power of Allaah Almighty. Gabriel (peace be upon
Him) puffed the soul. This soul was so much powerful that Jesus (peace be upon Him)
used to cause to run the soul in the self-made shape of clay. Like this, He (peace
be upon Him) used to heal the patients with this soul. Everyone can understand
easily all the matters relating to Jesus (peace be upon Him) after considering
thoughtfully. It is surprising upon them who believe in the power of
electricity, but do not believe in the Power of the Soul.
